Today Justin chats with Rose Mary Sheldon. This is her third time on the podcast. Rose Mary taught history as a professor at Virginia Military Institute for more than 25 years, and is a world renowned expert on intelligence activities in the ancient world. She earned her PhD from the University of Michigan in 1987 and has published several books and many articles over the years, as well as serving as an editor for the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence in Small Wars and Insurgencies and the Journal of Military History.  Today she covers the lives and deaths of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty, who came after the Julio-Claudian emperors  discussed last time, along with the internal security measures they put in place to protect themselves from assassination with varying degrees of success.
